                • Cons
                • Bajaj Pulsar N125

                  • Looks: The N125’s design language is a fresh one and doesn’t look like any other Pulsar
                  • Lightness: 125kg kerb means the N125 feels super light, especially when riding through heavy traffic
                  • Smoothness: its engine is smooth, even at highway speeds
                  • Suspension: it’s very comfortable on bad roads too
                  • Price: undercuts both its chief rivals: the TVS Raider and the Hero Xtreme 125R

                  Hero Xtreme 160R

                  • Light, agile and extremely city-friendly
                  • Smooth throttle response and mid-range performance
                  • Excellent real-world mileage
                  • Stylish yet understated design
                  • Low seat height makes it accessible to most riders

                  • The front brake could’ve been a bit sharper
                  • It misses out on ABS, something even the Bajaj Platina 110 gets
                  • The finish levels and panel gaps could’ve been a bit better

                  Hero Xtreme 160R

                  • Lacks modern features and connectivity
                  • Pillion seat is not comfortable for longer rides
                  • The better-equipped Xtreme 160R 4V exists

                  THE BAJAJ PULSAR N 125
                  At the time of selection I was curious in selecting one I already had a 150 in my home. bajaj is so reliable. the model is so cunning with heavy fuel economy with just a standard price offering many specification. If you are a new rider the n125 can be the best for you. The seat is not so comfort whereas the steering balance is buttery smooth. easily managed, smooth clutch and a refined engine ..with the Bluetooth connectivity it is always as easy to ride never before Best version of the 125 segment even competitor for the ns125 with my experience it is best to buy the n125 with all these features with a standard pricing leaving some of the features like tachometer, abs, gear indicator,switch lights..rest is worth for money

                  The bike is just unique feels different outstands the other boring similar designed bikes really proud 💪👌. The seat's stiff but trust me it can be handled with no problem. And it preety much handles the city traffic situation very smoothly. Would recommend more bikes like this and more upgrades...

                  My Hero bike
                  It is an awesome bike. Good colour combination, good engine, great pickup and a good mileage. Comfortable while riding makes it a great bike for day to day commute. It is an awesome bike in any way you look at it. It is also low maintenance so you wouldn't need to worry about servicing very often. I had a great time riding it for more than 2 years.

                  Totally worth for money .
                  Over and all Hero is a good choice for me my whole family have a Bikes of hero. They keep the basic things in mind and make a bike which I feel a a good for a rider. I would be very thankful to Hero for the bike they have made special for 160. I did a ride to Nagpur to ladakh and it was like a 160 cc bike cant do that but unfortunately I did . It was like impossible to possible. The whole credit goes to Hero how bike has been designed and the speed mileage . It feels like no problem even the off-roading also feel like I am sitting in a 4-5 Lakhs bike. Heads off to Hero again. Yes absolutely this bike is like a heaven for middle class people the style, the looks and many more totally worth for the value of the bike. I would always recommend this bike for everyone. There is no negative point first of all . And yeah I would love to express more but yeah that's all for now.

                  Hero bikes are the Best my fav.
                  I chose the Hero Xtreme 160R because it offers a perfect mix of power, comfort, and style. Its smooth to ride in city traffic, handles well on highways, and is easy to maintain. I have one previous model of 2011 already. Ride has been smooth and enjoyable so far. The bike feels light, handles traffic easily, and stays stable on highways. Power delivery is clean, braking feels confident, and comfort is good for daily rides. Yes, I would recommend it. The bike is comfortable, easy to ride, and performs well in daily use. It looks good, gives decent mileage, and is reliable for both city and highway riding. Service cost is good and pocket friendly.
